Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 3473787" data-attributes="member: 2525">Folks always suggest either ranged or two weapon fighting for these builds, and I agree those are fine options.I advocate reach weapon as a third alternative.  I'm currently going dodge-mobility-spring attack and combat reflexes, and using a reach weapon (in my case a great spear due to a free exotic weapon proficiency with it, but a regular longspear would do fine).  It works very well.  Instead of getting a second attack with two weapon fighting at a penalty to the attack roll, instead I am often getting a second attack as an attack of opportunity (or even more than one), at my full BAB.  And, if you are invisible or concealed or hidden, you can even get a sneak attack on that attack of opportunity.  Plus, you are in less danger of dying yourself, as your opponents generally do not get a full attack against you (they have to move to get to you almost every round).  You also qualify for Shadow Dancer with this build, which grants Hide in Plain Sight at first level (a great ability).If you do go two weapon fighting, I suggest you consider the possibility of two levels of the Urban Ranger variant.  It's a minor change to the Ranger, great for Eberron setting, and alters your skills a bit (in a good way) and your track ability (also in a good way).  Great variant for a city campaign, and you still get free two weapon fighting at second level like normal.  And, you can select the most popular race in your city as your favored enemy, which has synergy with your sneak attacks pretty well.</blockquote>
